Paul Connett

Paul Connett is a prominent water fluoridation critic,[1][2][3] executive director of the Binghamton, New York based Fluoride Action Network (FAN),[4][5] one of the largest organizations opposing water fluoridation worldwide.[6][7][8] Connett has been invited by small antifluoridation groups to come and speak to their members on the subject in fluoridating countries such as Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.[9][10][11][12] Connett has stated "It’s politics that is interfering with science in this issue...It’s a matter of political will, and you cannot change political will if you don’t get the people. We must involve the people."[13]

After teaching chemistry and toxicology for 23 years at St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY, he retired from his full professorship. He is currently also the director of the American Environmental Health Studies Project, a non-profit which serves primarily as umbrella for his FAN organization, and source of monthly stipends for himself and his wife. (AEHSP).[16][17]

In 2004, Connett published the paper 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation, a document that has been repeatedly refuted with facts and evidence (http://americanfluoridationsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/connetts-50-3.pdf) in Medical Veritas.[18][19][20] In 2010 he coauthored; The Case against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There along with Dr. James Beck and Dr. H. Spedding Micklem.[21]
He also wrote the book in 2013; "The Zero Waste Solution".[22] and assisted the city of Naples in pursuing its zero waste strategy.[23] The U.S. Centres for Disease Control regards fluoridation of drinking water as one of the ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th Century [24] and continues to recommend fluoridation as a safe and effective public health practice.[25]
